Hello Sweet Shoppers! It’s Keely here today. I’m sure like a lot of you the holidaze has begun. There’s a lot going on and I’m already feeling like I’m going in circles. I wasn’t sure what to blog about, I’m feeling inadequate with all the December daily albums and Elf On the Shelf hijinks\u00a0 going on so I thought I’d make myself feel better and share one of my ongoing projects.<\/p>\n

Way back when, I kept all my contacts and household information on a spinning Rolodex. Over the years that fell\u00a0 by the wayside but I didn’t want to throw it out. I’ve turned it into a sort of scrapping project, there’s no real rhyme or reason to it, I just visit it every so often and add to it. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(please excuse the poor\u00a0 photos, the weather has not been cooperating. Oh and the tabs too, I always forget to change those LOL)<\/p>\n

For my latest round of additions I used Traci and Jenn’s Get Artsy bundle. I made\u00a0 four or five full cards and prepped some stuff to use later. I used a scanned card to make a template for Photoshop but you can also trace a card, mine’s not perfect and depending on how my X-acto skills are when I’m doing my thing the cut outs can be imperfect but they work.\u00a0 I usually set up an 8.5 x 11 inch canvas and stick as much on there as I can get in and then print them on matte presentation paper. Some cards I do completely digitally, most often though I do them hybrid. These are great for using up scraps, bits of floss, ribbons, buttons etc. You can ink them, paint them, add ephemera, stitch them, make them flat or chunky, the sky’s the limit. You can see a couple of my sheets here, some parts I cut out and adhered directly, some pieces I turned into flowers or tags and I made a lot of little bits into transfers with packing tape.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0And that’s a peek into my latest foray into hybrid, I love this project because I can do it whenever the mood strikes, I can make it as simple or complicated as I like, there’s no big commitment and I love the way it perks up my desk, I flip to whatever matches my mood.<\/p>\n
